Flight from Nouakchott to Felix Houphouet-Boigny. You can see details of my flight here

http://www.air-source.us/Operations/Log ... tid=136348


Found taxiing really tough at Nouakchott, with very little room for error (the tip of my wing actually passed over the tail of the learjet!

Image


Weather wasn't too good with visibility down to less than 5sm

Image


Climbing away to 6oooft

Image


I have just been cleared to 15oooft (I am using Radar Contact in a bid to get enough experience before I try VATSIM)

Image


Almost at 29oooft expecting clearance to cruise at 35oooft

Image


Here is Springbok 1126 at cruise, I don't need the Wx radar to tell me whats up ahead!

Image


Another shot of the cruise

Image


Visibility was less than a mile here and this was by far the toughest approach I have made on the tour to date.

Image


Now on final, but I was using Rwy21 and a VOR approach - really hairy landing!

Image


But I made it down in one peice, but a little off the centre line - still, any landing you can walk away from huh :D

Image


Hope you enjoyed this post, feedback would be great

thanks for the comments Leemaz, lots of views but not many comments yet, so thanks for taking the time to post.

It was a tough landing this, the visibility was less than a mile and it was a VOR approach to I had to hand fly this non precision approach. I had to make a go around on my 1st attempt, but didn't get a screenie as I was busy in the cockpit LOL.

thanks
